Yes, I take it personally when you say you won't vote, or vote for the Dem. Why? Because among other things, the fascists tried to commit a Black GENOCIDE during the pandemic. Your actions or inaction will give them the power to do it again in some other way. My survival depends on them NOT gaining power. So does yours.

A few years ago, Obama humiliated Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner. People laughed AT Trump. He was publicly humiliated. His racist blood was boiling. Tonight, Jimmy Kimmel publicly humiliated Trump at the Oscar’s. The audience cheered when he said it was “past your jail time”. I wish more people would do that. It’s Trump’s weakness. #Oscars

Breaking: #91Felonies rapist has posted a bond of nearly $92 million in E. Jean Carroll defamation case. The posted bond is exactly $91,630,000.00, which includes a district’s courts common practice of requiring a bond of 110% of the judgement.

Insurance company Chubb underwrote the $91.63 million bond for Donald Trump, which the former president signed on Tuesday, March 5.
Under the terms of the bond, Chubb will only secure the appeal of the $83.3 million judgment, not any future appeals.

#91Felonies Rapist got someone to give him almost exactly that amount. America has no idea who that is or who he is now beholden to, and that is unacceptable as a counterintelligence matter.

The whole world wants to know where the money to purchase the bond came from.

And U.S. intelligence needs to know.

A billionaire shouldn’t need an agency to post his $90M bond. That should be chump change to a billionaire. Where’s Mr. I’m so rich when it comes to paying his bills?

Someone (follower) just DMd me accusing me of being a 'drag on support' of Dems.

Why? He said "we're all supporting the democracy coalition", & I explained that many in my replies are angry, not supportive. He accused me of something something Hillary's emails re Biden... not sure what that meant, but it was offensive.

If anyone ever accuses me of not supporting Biden in this election, they haven't read my TL or listened to me on air.

Talk about offensive. I blocked.

NEW: #Indiana's Republican-controlled Legislature passes a bill to impose an additional requirement on first-time voters to prove their residency and make it easier to purge voters from the rolls. Voting advocates argue the bill will burden student voters.

Wtf why are people so nasty. It's not enough to aggressively insist they be allowed to breathe covid straight into your face holes, now they're like "let's bring back measles that seems like a good time!"

What's next? People claiming getting measles is good cause it trains your immune system, when it's widely documented it causes a full immune memory reset?

Maybe governments need to start doing shit again to enforce public health for the sake of their citizens instead of constantly capitulating to these bio terrorists, jesus fucking christ

A few more hints that the current #Poland blockade is being coordinated by #Russia

1. There were several protests: March 2023 farmers’ protest, then May 2023 truckers’ protest, which in November 2023 turned into truckers’ blockade. Protests had many legitimate postulates, blockade was caused largely by inaction of Polish and Ukrainian governments. Back then, most protesters clearly declared they support Ukraine but are forced to fight for their jobs.
2. The border blockade stopped in January 2024 after truckers signed an agreement with the Polish and #Ukraine government and promised to suspend the protest until March 2024 to allow implementation of all agreed controls.
3. In February 2024 farmers’ protest restarted but was limited to traffic from Ukraine to EU, consistent with their economic demands regarding Ukrainian grain.
4. In mid-February 2024 however the nature of the protest drastically changed, as it was joined by openly anti-Ukrainian banners presented by members of pro-Russian groups in Poland. These were openly xenophobic, calling to “kick Ukrainians out of Poland” etc.
5. At the same time the blockade was also joined by the same truckers who earlier promised to suspend the protest until March. And truckers started blocking traffic… from EU into Ukraine.
6. In perfect synchronisation #Russia media started mass campaign portraying the protests nearly as a Polish uprising against Ukraine.

At this stage there’s little doubt the whole campaign has been coordinated by Russia, who saw an divisive topic and decided to capitalize on it. What worries me is the passive posture of Polish government in this situation.

I got some troll today complaining today that Biden and Trump are indistinguishable, now because of age. Is that the talking point now? Interesting.

Anyway, besides the very obvious differences in belief in democracy, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris support progress. This isn’t hard.

Before obituaries for Navalny start rolling in the Western media, here's a necessary reminder that he incited violence against Muslims, called immigrants "cockroaches", and of course supported the occupation of Crimea.
Frustrating how the inconvenient fact that he was a far-right activist is swept under the rug and almost never mentioned enough by that same media.

“Does U.S. want a "well-meaning elderly man," or one who means ill? Would rather have a POTUS who briefly confused Egypt for Mexico, or one who'd start a war on the border?

On the slow train wreck of democracy - it doesn't have to be this way.”
